The opposite of poetry is trivial life, for money, for the uncertain relationship between people. Humans are always restless with the status quo, which is good and bad. It's hard to be moderate, and when you get it, you want more. Not just in money, but in personal pursuits. Poetry is good, life is good. Always want to live better, more comfortable and happy. Most of this film is arguing, perhaps to restore an ordinary Dickinson, not a deified Dickinson. It opens with an indoctrination of Dickinson's opposition to religious schools, and the director seems to want to use this point of view throughout Dickinson's life. She has always looked at others for the sake of some lofty ideas and special ideas in her heart, and was more harsh to others, even her own younger brother. What the director shows is just a small part of her life. I just can't believe that the person who wrote that kind of poetry should be someone who can endure loneliness. The director's expression is that she is very eager for the opposite sex, which is not incomprehensible in that era when there was no Internet, and in that era when marriage depended on ballroom dancing. But there seems to be some excess that makes the whole character unreal. Throughout the film, there are many voice-over verses through the changes in her life. Showing an Attitude Poetry is never just a high-level use of language, but a high-level language to express the deep inner heart. One day, we will reunite with the person we once loved.
